\nChoruses:<\/em> Dsus2 – A, Dsus2 – G\/B – Dsus2 – E – A<\/b><\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n

Fault lines in the asphalt ground<\/em>
\n Snow caught in the cracks below<\/em>
\n Melted mass of frozen pounds<\/em>
\n Weighing down the river’s load.<\/em><\/p>\n

Floating on the tumbling storm<\/em>
\n Weary in a restless state<\/em>
\n Terrified of shadowed forms<\/em>
\n Gasping still with breath abate.<\/em><\/p>\n

The earth is dead, its surface, dark<\/em>
\n Stray life is cut with spiteful blade<\/em>
\n Alone remains a hopeful ark<\/em>
\n To reach it, sacrifices made.<\/em><\/p>\n

Winter winds can’t chill my soul<\/strong><\/em>
\n And some things you will never know<\/strong><\/em>
\n But stay with me for now<\/strong><\/em>
\n Together, alone.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Tempered steel will not suffice<\/em>
\n The gates I\u2019ve built aren\u2019t meant to break<\/em>
\n Nothing but your heart\u2019s entice<\/em>
\n Can frighten off dread fear\u2019s embrace.<\/em><\/p>\n

The falling ice envelopes all<\/em>
\n And you can cower here with me<\/em>
\n My heart is hard, but through its walls<\/em>
\n Life can still push mightily.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your faith is all I seek, and yet<\/em>
\n You\u2019ve given me much better still<\/em>
\n Unknowing, safety keeps me set<\/em>
\n But your love is what breaks my will.<\/em><\/p>\n

Demons in the roads pursue<\/strong><\/em>
\n And all the world could shatter you<\/strong><\/em>
\n But you are not alone<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Fearful wrath burns in your eyes<\/strong><\/em>
\n And loveliness intensifies<\/strong><\/em>
\n I give my heart in peace<\/strong><\/em>
\n And make the sacrifice.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
